Incident at Night

"This is where you will be sleeping," Li Yun said.

Alex and she were in her mother's room, which hadn't been in use for nearly 7 years. 

While it was technically a room, the room Alex was given was no more than the size of a closet. There was just a small sleeping area with beast fur where could sleep. 

Alex looked at the small room and sighed. There was nothing he could complain about.

"Thank you," he said and lay on the beast's fur. There was a small pouch full of sand at the end that was to be used as pillows.

"Do you need a sleeping companion? I can do the part," she said enthusiastically.

"No, thank you," Alex said and lay on the bed.

"Well, you'll come around soon enough," she said and went away. 

Alex sighed. He felt too tired to even care about her advances. It was a weird feeling, tiredness.

It was different from the fatigue one could get from working for a long time. It was both physical and mental.
